It sounds like you're having a bit of trouble locating and installing the NVIDIA Control Panel. Usually, the NVIDIA Control Panel should automatically install with the appropriate NVIDIA Graphics driver. Here are some steps to aid you ensure it's installed and accessible:
Check Existing Installation: First, check if the NVIDIA Control Panel is already installed. Right-click on your desktop; if you see "NVIDIA Control Panel" in the context menu, it's installed. If not, proceed to the next steps.
Update or Reinstall Graphics Driver: Go to the NVIDIA website and download the latest drivers for your graphics card. Make sure to choose the correct model and operating system (Windows 10). During installation, there's typically an option for a 'clean install', which can be useful to ensure no old settings or files interfere.
Manual Installation via Microsoft Store: If the control panel still isn’t showing up after updating your drivers directly from NVIDIA’s website:
- Open Microsoft Store on your Windows 10.
- In the search bar at the top right, type "NVIDIA Control Panel".
- Click 'Get' to download and install it directly from here.
Direct Download Alternative: If you can't find it in Microsoft Store through normal search, use this direct link while on your PC: ms-windows-store://pdp/?PFN=NVidia.NVIDIAControlPanel_8wekyb3d8bbwe This should open up its page directly in Microsoft Store.
Restart Your Computer: After installing, restart your computer to make sure all changes take effect properly.
If none of these solutions work, there might be an issue either with compatibility or with the hardware detection itself by Windows 10—checking with NVIDIA support could offer more specific guidance based on your hardware configuration.
